ok i’ve tried several things now including one suggested in my previous posting but the news is still never loading, so i think it’s something with my script. At the moment, i have a movie clip which contains a dynamic, scrollable text box with the instance name “newsBox”. I want flash to retreive data from a server-side script which is my CGI-BIN. I know that this link works in my html page so it’s not a bad link…why isn’t it showing up in my text box in flash? i’m thinking it’s something to do with my function but i have no idea what to do with it…

```auto
function viewNews(){
	trace("Data is loaded");
}
var newsBox:LoadVars = new Loadvars();
newsBox.onLoad = viewNews;
newsBox.load("http://orcaproductions.com/cgi-bin/news/viewnews.cgi",newsBox,"GET");

```

cheers
